Automated NiS Dissolution System

In the Pt mining and exploration industry, the NiS fire assay is known to be the most accurate procedure for the determination of PGE content in ore samples. IMP Automation in conjunction with Nucomat has released an automated NiS dissolution wet chemistry system that is sure to revolutionize the industry and provide significant benefits to precision and accuracy, improved efficiencies and reduced hazardous working conditions for staff.

This NiS dissolution system fully automates the next necessary hazardous sample preparation procedures. These procedures include weighing, mixing, dispensing of acids, hotplate digestion, diluting, filtration and filter recovery, making solutions up to volume and presenting a solution to an instrumental method of analysis such as ICP-MS.

All samples are electronically tracked and controlled by ROBIN (a central supervisory system developed by Nucomat) from registration to final result being transmitted to a database, where data can be validated and released for reporting – typically by a LIMS system.
